DEVICE FOR HEATING ROOMS.

Specicaton of Letters Patent No. 29,710, dated August 21, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS NEwsoM, of Gallipolis, Gallia county, andState of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Increasing theI/Varmth of Rooms with the Taste Heat that Escapes from Fires upChimneys.

My invention consists in forming, or constructing a metallic flue ofsheet-iron, castiron, copper, brass, or other metal, and letting` thesame into a chimney in such manner, as to close up the iue thereof so asto require, but little of anything else, so as to t-urn the entirecurrent of smoke and waste heat, through said metallic fiue, which Iterm a radiator. This radiator disperses a portion of the ascending heatthrough the apartments, in which it is situated andareturns the balancewith the smoke to the chimney at any convenient distance, near theplastering ceilings or joists above, to be used in like manner in theroom or rooms above, or in other apartments, on the back side of thechimney, or other place if desirable, and finally escape through the topof the chimney into the open air.

That others skilled in the art, may make and use my invention, I willnow describe its construction and operation. I construct a metallicradiator, or fiue of any desirable form, rectangular, in the crossfront, semicircular, elliptic or other form; and 0f a capacity, equal atleast to the draft of the chimney. I extend the inner or back plate ofthe radiator, a short distance into the flue of the chimney so as torequire but little of anything else, to close up the said flue, tochange the entire current of the ascending smoke and waste heat.

The form of the radiator, and its appendages, the manner of letting itinto the chimney, and its operation, will be all readily understood, bya reference to the anneXed drawing and making a part of thisspecification.

Figure l is a perspective view of chimney and radiator, letter c is afront view of chimney, b the radiator, c the handle of scraper. Fig. 2is a section View, @c side view of chimney and radiator, b radiator cend of rod operating the scraper, CZ entrance from chimney intoradiator, e current of heat and smoke f space between chimney andradiator.

The scraper may be required, where the draft of the chimney is toofeeble, to scrape off any accumulation of soot or other deposits, but isnot deemed a material part- That I claim as my invention and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, isv

rIhe arrangement of the radiator, const-ructed as specied, in theparticular manner described in relation to the fire place and chimney.
